Happiness you give, you give me a new life, you give my limbs a massage. When I am with you, I think of all things no one has known that are even new to me. You let me think up my life, my future, you help me so much. I owe you so much for your ideas, your time. Yes, you renew my life with the energy you give. You are my other world, my best world, my favorite world.
~ Catherine, sixth grade
